Your carbohydrate requirements differ depending on your size and intensity of training, but a good starting point is to aim for 60g carbs for every hour of training – that’s two 500ml bottles of isotonic sports drink, or two gels. Timing your meals and snacks is important too, and you’ll need to experiment with this to get it right – keep a food diary to make sure you learn from your trials. Go for small, low-GI meals at regular intervals to keep your blood sugar levels even, so you won’t have crashes in energy and mood.
